Military times are expressed as four digits whether or not they are said that way.
…It was 0732 when I left the barracks.
…The call came in at 0900 hours.
Happy punctuating!

With nonmilitary 24-hour time, do you add the colon? So if the person says “fourteen eighteen” without the “hours,” should it be 14:18 or 1418?
In other words, is all 24-hour time military time, or only those 24-hour times that have “hours” or “hundred hours” following?

Generally, the four-digit time expression does not take any punctuation.
